(health) the nocebo effect

(from NewScientist)

When western anthropologists first heard reports of witch doctors who could issue deadly curses, they quickly found rational explanations. The families of the cursed often felt there was no point wasting food on the "walking dead", for example. That's why many of the cursed would die: simple starvation.

However, other case histories have come to light that defy attempts to explain them. In the 1970s, for example, doctors diagnosed a man with end-stage liver cancer, and told him he had just a few months to live. Though the patient died in the predicted time, an autopsy showed the doctors had been mistaken. There was a tiny tumour, but it had not spread. It seemed the doctors' prognosis had been a death curse.

Though the mechanism remains a mystery, but at least now this kind of phenomenon has a name. The "nocebo effect" is the lesser-known opposite number of the placebo effect, and describes any case where putting someone in a negative frame of mind has an adverse effect on their health or well-being. Tell people a medical procedure will be extremely painful, for example, and they will experience more pain than if you had kept the bad news to yourself. Similarly, experiences of side effects within the placebo groups of drug trials have shown that a doctor's warning about the possible side effects of a medicine makes it much more likely that the patient will report experiencing those effects.

This is not just in the mind: it is also about physical effects. The stress created by the nocebo effect can have a long-lasting impact on the heart, for example – perhaps serious enough to cause fatal damage.

The race is on to understand the precise mechanisms behind nocebo. Medical researchers are hoping that such an understanding will help to make the world a less stressful place. "It is a good way to understand anxiety, and to find methods to prevent it," says Fabrizio Benedetti of the University of Turin, Italy.

(cine) THE SONS OF LEE MARVIN

"As soon as people see my face on a movie screen, they knew two things: first, I'm not going to get the girl, and second, I'll get a cheap funeral before the picture is over"


Lee Marvin inició su carrera por accidente al suplir a un actor enfermo en el teatro donde trabajaba como plomero. De todos los iconos de Hollywood el rostro estoico y contenido de Marvin incorpora y rescata al personaje de hierro en el cine, su evolución como actor fue siempre fiel a sus orígenes, veterano de la 2nda guerra mundial, la figura de Marvin se rebela por si sola dando vida a personajes e historias que en Hollywood no se hubieran logrado sin el y no faltaba mas, como todo rebelde, dejó a sus bastarditos.


Los Hijos de Lee Marvin es una sociedad secreta, nadie sabe que hacen ni cuando se juntan, el único requisito para ser miembro es que tu estructura osea se asemeje a la de Marvin. La sociedad fue fundada por Jim Jarmusch (el poeta rockero director de eso a lo que le llaman cine independiente gabacho) y algunos de sus miembros incluyen a Tom Waits, Nick Cave, Iggy Pop, John Lurie, y Neil Young , puro caballero del cooly intense!

(cine) MEXICALI

El lunes pasado mi amigo Brett me invitó a una pequeña reunion donde junto a varios de sus amigos cineastas para compartir trabajos y visiones, entre los invitados estaba otro cuate, juanito que llevo el último corte de su película Mexicali.



El cine nacional mantiene una constante que se origina en sus cineastas, la busqueda de identidad, que cine tendríamos que hacer en México? Quienes somos?

Nos guste o no lo tenemos demasiado cerca para encontrar perspectiva, siempre buscando influencia y respuestas en identidades ajenas es así como un gringo de san diego y un sueco hacen frente a la cámara lo que muchos tendríamos que hacer, vivir México.

Los créditos iniciales de la película entrelazan los extremos de lo que mas ha influido al país durante años, la frontera con América? y sin caer en el tan frotado tema de la migración California y México se unen.

Mexicali es el madrazo de energía que necesita nuestro país para reencontrar su identidad.
